My Name Is Kim Sam Soon

I finished it last night, and I loved it! Another kick-ass heroine, and definitely the one I could relate to the most. I ended up liking Henry over Jin Heon but he had his cute moments too. (Hyun Bin has such cute dimples!) I liked that this drama could have become very clichéd but didn't. The ending was a surprise to me as well! I loved Sam-Soon'

Going to watch this. Very. Soon. My friend teaching in Korea has me hooked on Korean dramas and I'd love to find one without a wilting heroine.

As usual, you're the one that hooks me up with the great recs.

By some stroke of luck, the four Korean dramas I've watched have all had strong Makino-type heroines! :D

Have you seen Coffee Prince? Eun Chan is so awesome, her little sister's fierce (if a bit too mean, lol) and the leading man is the hottest guy ever. Seriously.

Coffee Prince is on the list, but right now I am watching You're Beautiful. And these guys (+ one gender-bending girl) are out-of-this-world beautiful. Man, I wish I had the kind of petite figure all these Asian stars have.

Have you watched any of Goong? I was reading the manwha but gave up after awhile. Because of its popularity, I am wondering if the drama is any better.

I wanna watch You're Beautiful, but it'll have to wait until the summer now, my TV schedule gets a little too busy in the new year. XD

I haven't sene Goong yet (also on the list, lol) but I've heard good things about it. So far I've only watched Full House, My Girl, Coffee Prince and Kim Sam Soon.

I looked at Full House and even after reading the synopsis a couple times, I still just see the Olsen twins. >_

Lol! I tried to find a clip that would make you think otherwise, but they all have spoilers! XD The drama is worth it alone for seeing Rain flip every episode, haha.
